Hypo Unawareness

I have talked with my GP and my Endo about this extensively. I have complete hypo unawareness. I have tried running higher than normal many times in an attempt to get my awareness back. It never worked on me. Everytime I get in my car the first thing I do is TEST.

About once or twice a month I can get a few days where all my rates on my pump are just not working for me. It's almost like my pancreas has kicked back into a non diabetic mode. I never know when these periods are going to hit me or how long they will last. Sometimes it lasts a day, the last one lasted for 5 days. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to them. It is almost to the point where I am starting to think about trying to get one of those hypo detecting dogs.

Does any other type 1.5's have this difficulty?
